Chapter 205 – Yuan Jue’s voice was low, as though he had been wronged. (1)
Grandma Ruyi had told her with a smile that she had discovered some treasure in the mountain behind the Winter Bear Tribe. Ruan Qiuqiu asked tentatively, “Is it a spiritual mountain range?”
Qing Ruyi couldn’t help but smiled, “In your dreams, child.”
Ruan Qiuqiu, “… …”
Qing Ruyi didn’t keep Ruan Qiuqiu waiting for long. “No, it isn’t a spiritual mountain range but the spiritual energy within the barrier is definitely much more concentrated than the outside. You see how your Grandpa Mo is looking younger than he was? That was partly because of the barrier.”
As soon as Grandma Ruyi had finished talking, Ruan Qiuqiu looked over at Mo Bugui, who was standing next to the eagle –
Sure enough, he had less wrinkles on his face now and his eyes also looked brighter than before. There was a hint of his look when he was his younger self.
“We know that the spiritual energy will be depleted sooner or later but the sooner we move over there, the sooner we can become stronger.” Looking at Ruan Qiuqiu, Qing Ruyi’s eyes were sparkling.
Ruan Qiuqiu had an idea of what she was trying to say even if Qing Ruyi hadn’t said it out loud –
Not only was the Winter Bear Tribe located closer to the fiend’s marketplace, their spiritual energy was also more concentrated this where they were currently. She figured the members within the bear tribe would not be more distant than those in the Fire Wolf Tribe.
Even though it was a little bit difficult to leave the “home” that they had just made some improvements in, Ruan Qiuqiu knew that moving over there would be the right decision for herself and mgr.
Thanking of that, Ruan Qiuqiu nodded and said, “Let me talk to Yuan Jue about it tonight.”
Qing Ruyi touched the spot between her brows and said to her, “… … I found a cave for the two of you in the mountain with the barrier that is much bigger than the one you are staying in right now.”
Grandma Ruyi looked at her seriously as she talked, “Qiuqiu, I have given what you had suggested last time a lot of thought.”
Upon hearing that, Ruan Qiuqiu put on a serious look as well. “Is it time for us to make an oath?”
As much as Qing Ruyi was no longer hostile toward herself and Mr. Gray Wolf and did not look like she would be attacking them any time soon, Ruan Qiuqiu had not forgotten about her real identity and her original intention toward them –
Qing Ruyi was a demon that was about to become demon king, sent to monitor her and Mr. Gray Wolf.
Qing Ruyi was friendly toward them right now but, should she have a change of heart on day, Mr. Gray Wolf, who had yet to become more powerful, and her situation would become very precarious very quickly.
As such, an oath would be very necessary.
Without an oath, it would be difficult for them to have complete trust in each other.
“I have had some hesitation.” Qing Ruyi was honest. “I figured that you are a stubborn one but I could always knock you unconscious, offer Yuan Jue up to my master. Everything would be done by the time you regain consciousness and that would be that.”
Ruan Qiuqiu, “… …”
Sighing to herself, Grandma Ruyi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I am just kidding.”
That had crossed her mind in the past but now she had no choice but to change her course of action.
– The night that she brought Ruan Qiuqiu back, she engaged in a short fight with the wolf cub that was unconscious. She didn’t want to cause trouble at the time so she did not engage with her maximum capability. Even then, Yuan Jue’s combat effectiveness was not to be underestimated.
Just overnight, after she had given the witch of the Fire Wolf Tribe a warning and went back to look for Ruan Qiuqiu the very next day, the wolf cub had already made it past the middle stage of demonization.
She had told Xiao Bohe how Yuan Jue had “bared his teeth at her viciously when she gotten close” when, in reality, she was still 5 meters outside of the cave when Yuan Jue’s demon energy turned into flames and came at her.
The wolf cub wasn’t even conscious, In fact, Qing Ruyi used her demon consciousness and noticed that –
He had Ruan Qiuqiu in his arms and was probably having a very sad dream.
